Prussia can be created by revolt or releasing a vassal at any point in the game. It will have its normal latin techgroup. Its culture and religion are not stated in revolt.txt, but will be German and probably Catholic or Protestant.

Prussia must include the province of Prussia, which is the default capital. It may also contain Danzig, although that province cannot form Prussia on its own. There are a further three provinces that are listed as extra provinces in revolt.txt, but which will never be part of the new Prussia, as they are not adjacent to a province that can be part of the new Prussia. They will, however, be Prussian core provinces. They are:

Prussia can also be "created" by Brandenburg. If Prussia chooses the first of two options in the event Prussian incorporation into Brandenburg and is inherited by Brandenburg, then Brandenburg has the option to become Prussia. This will happen if Brandenburg choose the first of two options in the event The Kingdom of Prussia in January 1701. If you wish to play as Prussia in one of the first three scenarios, you will likely have a more powerful Prussia if you start as Brandenburg. If you become Prussia in this way, you will gain cores on most of Germany.

In this scenario, Prussia has German culture, Protestant religion, and 500 ducats in the treasury. It owns and controls six provinces, of which five are core. It also has four other core provinces that it does not own.

In this scenario, Prussia has German culture, Protestant religion, and 800 ducats in the treasury. It owns and controls eight provinces, all of which are core. It also has two other core provinces that it does not own.

In this scenario, Prussia has German culture, Protestant religion, and 450 ducats in the treasury. It owns and controls ten provinces, all of which are core. It also has seven other core provinces that it does not own.

In this scenario, Prussia has German culture, Protestant religion, and 450 ducats in the treasury. It owns and controls eleven provinces, all of which are core. It also has seven other core provinces that it does not own.

If Prussia colonizes, it will focus on the continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It will prioritize the region of West Africa, and the areas of Canton and the Balkans. However, since its expansion value is 0, it will almost never attempt to explore or colonize.

If it does ever send out a colonist, Prussia will establish a trading post 20% of the time, has a 10 bonus to chances of establishing a new colony next to an existing one (default is 50), and a -1 to establishing a colony next to another country (default is -50)

Prussia will focus its wars against Poland and Pommern. It has a warmonger value of 80 (compared to the default of 10). It is willing to fight further from home than the default (2.0 compared to 1.0), is less likely to focus on defending/liberating its own provinces than the default (1.0 compared to 2.0), and is generally more aggressive (3.0 vs 1.0). All other settings are identical to the default.

These events are to do with periods where Prussia was ruled by various foreign powers.

Hohenzollern Prussia become Polish Duchy

This event happens if Poland exists and Prussia is either Protestant or Reformed at any point between 1st January 1524 and 1st January 1540. The event happens up to 30 days after the trigger.

There are two options. Option a is Secularize as Polish vassal and option b is Secularlize as independent country. In both cases, Poland breaks its vassalisation with the Teutonic Order, and both Memel and Prussia change to German culture. Both options also give both a royal marriage and plus relations with Brandenburg

The first option gives +50 relations with Poland and -50 with the Teutonic Order. It also triggers events for both countries. The Poland event has two options, the first of which makes Prussia a vassal.

The second option reduces relations with both countries by 150.

Prussian incorporation into Brandenburg

This event happens if Brandenburg exists at any point between 1st January 1615 and 1st June 1715, and happens up to 300 days after the trigger.

The event has two options. Option A is Unite with Brandenburg, which triggers the Brandenburg event The incorporation of Prussia into Brandenburg, where Brandenburg inherits Prussia. Option B is Keep separate. It gives Prussia a casus belli against Brandenburg and reduces relations between the two by 100.

This event happens between 1st January 1713 and 1st January 1765 if Prussia has been incorporated into Brandenburg (i.e. Prussia picked option A in Prussian incorporation into Brandenburg). It happens up to 30 days after the trigger.

There are two options. Option A is Introduce Absolute Monarchy and option B is Keep Constitutional Monarchy.

This event happens between 1st January 1750 and 1st January 1785 if Prussia has been incorporated into Brandenburg (i.e. Prussia picked option A in Prussian incorporation into Brandenburg). It happens up to 30 days after the trigger.

There are three options. Option A is Reforms of Enlightenment, option B is No Change, and option C is Reforms of Reaction.

This event happens between 1st January 1807 and 30th December 1807 if Prussia has been incorporated into Brandenburg (i.e. Prussia picked option A in Prussian incorporation into Brandenburg). It happens up to 30 days after the trigger.

There are three options. Option A is Plebian Mass Reform, option B is Frederickian Elite Reform, and option C is Balanced Reform

This event is triggered the Saxon event The Polish Succession of 1733 on 30th January 1733. The event depends on Poland not choosing the third of three options (Jakub Sobieski) in The Polish Succession of 1697, and on Poland choosing the second of two options (Stanislas Leczinski) in The Polish Succession of 1733, and on Saxony choosing the first of two options (I want revenge) in The Polish Succession of 1733.

The event has two options. Option A is Give the Wettins a helping hand and Option B is Secure Poland for the Wettins.

This event happens on 2nd January 1740. If Prussia does not exist, but is recreated before 15th January 1740, the event can still be triggered up to that point. There are three options. Option A is Anti-Habsburg, option B is Neutral, and option C is Pro-Habsburg

This event is triggered by an Austrian event that happens between 1st January 1777 and 1st July 1777, as long as there is not a war between Austria and The Palatinat or between Prussia and Bavaria. This event happens if Austria chooses the first of two options, Make legal claims on Bayern.

Prussia has two options. Option A is Defend Bayern against these false claims, option B is Do not interfere in the Habsburg Backyard.

here are two events of this name. Both are triggered by Polish events, which are triggered solely by dates.

The first Polish event is triggered up to 10 days after 10th September 1764, though if Poland does not exist and is recreated it can happen up to 1st January 1772. The second Polish event is triggered up to 10 days after 1st January 1788, though if Poland does not exist and is recreated it can happen up to 1st January 1792.

In each case, the Prussian event happens if Poland chooses the first of two options.

The first event gives Prussia cores on Danzig and Hinterpoomern. The second gives them cores on Mazovia and Wielpolska.

The Restoration of the French Monarchy

This event happens if the French monarch is Napoleon and Prussia controls Ile de France between 1st January 1809 and 1st January 1821. It happens up to 10 dyas after the trigger. It is, oddly, included in both Prussia's major events file and their special events file (where it is the only event).

The event gives Prussia 500 victory points, 500 ducats, +200 relations with France, and +3 stability. It also triggers the French event The Restoration of the French Monarchy, which removes Napoleon from the throne.

This event supposed to be triggered by either the Austrian or Salzburg event The Purge of the Archbishop of Salzburg, which will happen if either country owns the province of Salzburg in 1731. It has the effect of increasing the populations of Memel and Prussia by 5000 each.
